Description
My book is here 📚 https://marilynliving.com
Five biggest mistakes I made living alone after 65, and how each one cost me. After my husband Gerald died, I spent two years letting the jobs he handled go undone, paying for things we no longer needed, and pretending I was fine when I was not. In this video I share the five mistakes in order: not changing the locks for two years, paying for two phone lines and a cable package for eighteen months, trying to shovel snow alone and lying on my kitchen floor for three days, not telling anyone about the fall, and letting my freezer become a museum of meals for two. Mistake number three cost me four thousand two hundred dollars and three days on a floor. The fix for each one took less time than the mistake.
Tell me where you are watching from, city and state, and which mistake sounds most like yours.
